And some video or at least pictures of while it is happening.

Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.

To quote a guy that contributes a lot to the GMC preservation "movement."
LINK?
By that I mean how about a link to a timer that will handle the amps the buzz box pulls for the electrically challenged.
